My Blue River Rose Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
There are [C]flow'rs that are rich,
There are flow'rs that are rare
On the [F]banks where the
bright water [C]flows,
But the sweetest of all nature's
[F]flowers to bloom
Was my [C]darling the [G]Blue River [C]Rose.
[G]Her eyes were the petals
that [C]glisten so bright,
Her smile was the sunshine [G]so
And the [C]heart of my beautiful
[F]Rose was as true
As her [C]tears like the [G]dew
sprinkled [C]there.
In the dead.

[Verse 2]
In the [C]bright month of June
'Neath that old southern moon
At the [F]altar each promise we'd [C]close
But old fate played its part
And [F]soon broke the heart
Of my [C]darling, my [G]Blue River [C]Rose.
Her [G]father objected said [C]think of our pride
We would never outlive such [G]a crime
There [C]are plenty of men who
are [F]wealthy and then
Would be [C]up in the [G]world such as [C]I.

[Verse 3]
So [C]they sent her away to
some far distant land
A va[F]cation they told her it would [C]be
When the leaves start to fall
It is [F]then we will call.
And [C]you may re[G]turn o'er the [C]sea.
[G]A year had passed on then the
[C]postman one morn
Brought a letter to me and it [Dm]read[G]
The [C]rose that once bloomed
in your [F]garden of love
Has all [C]withered your [G]darling
[C]is dead.
